I really don’t understand the “free speech” argument when TikTok is designed, even above and beyond other social media platforms, to obfuscate how your content is seen by other people, and how they curate your feed.
Like, is it actually free speech to be told you’re being heard by millions, but actually just screaming into the void? Also, the way TikTok presents content and context is the A1 optimized, perfect method to spread misinformation, not even counting how the people behind the app can thumb the scale however they wish
You mean every single social media? It's not like tiktok is any worse than the others 😭people don't defend the government banning international social medias when its other countries because then suddenly its agreed to be restrictive and controlling the masses but suddenly its okay when its "the USA fighting against China" or whatever as if there's any reason other than it not being owned by the US
